MAMGB Hismala 'Fuzzy'

Hismala means Fuzzy in Lakota. His name reflects our first impression of his fleece. His fleece is the fuzzy type that maintains that soft handle. His fleece is uniform carrying architecture to his toes, along with fineness of handle, with extra density, and a nice crimp. This dark brown boy's fleece has continually improved each day he ages. His show record alerted us to this fact, but our evaluation of his fleece today put the seal on that thought.

He is a solid strong young fellow and is developing into a full framed large boned Huacaya. His half sisters are both show winners and our evaluation of Hismala is that he will also ribbon. He has one of the kindest personalities we have ever seen and enjoys human and alpaca company and contact including patted on the top of the head.

When he enters the show ring he immediately takes a very proud posture and prances the entire time in the ring. Polly Michaelis stated, "This is the total package! This was present as he walked in very alertly, has bright very even well organized across the entire fleece, beautiful top line with very good bone."

As Hismala ages, his fleece improves if that is possible as represented in his show record. We see improved character, consistency from nose to toes, softness in handle, length, density, and crimp. That says it all and he has it all!

Georgia Meyer of Silver Creek Alpaca sorted and graded Hismala's fleece to WL-6. She placed him 4 of 10 in brightness, 5 of 10 in uniformity of crimp, 8 criimp / inch, medium amplitude, and a density of 7 of 10. He was classed a dark rose grey.

Recently we have observed Hismala's teeth have grown a ways past his pallet. We are not certain this is a jaw alignment issue or insufficient abrasion through diet but it has brought us to a decision. We are offering Hismala as a fleece or pet. His disposition and personality lend himself to a good companion and pet and his fleece carries a good handle.
